The case documented that they violated the law, to be sure. There was certainly the potential for harm. But how much harm was actually done?
As far as I can tell the ones who objected most to the studio system were the actors, not the audiences. It's why the Screen Actors Guild was created; the abuses were well documented.
This case illustrates that an oligopoly can be broken up if it acts as a cartel. Do Apple and Google do that?
Sorry; I don't mean to sound like I'm "Just Asking Questions". I'm not a lawyer, but I am an actor with a bit of understanding of the studio system history so I'm interested in the lessons.
